John Russell's Regiment of Guards

John Russell's Regiment of Guards

John Russell's Regiment of Guards (later called the King's Royal Regiment of Guards) was an infantry regiment formed following the Restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660 to serve as a second regiment of foot guards, mirroring the form and function of Lord Wentworth's Regiment. Upon the death of Lord Wentworth in 1665, the two regiments were amalgamated into the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards.
